In overall good condition. Minor craquelure and scratches to sides and top. Minor chipping to edges.

One area to lower right of left side with a small loss which has been refilled. Gilt-bronze mounts in good condition, slightly tarnished. The panels with minor scratches and white marks, some cracks to giallo antico borders. Decorative and ready to place.
